  • BIO 413: Microscopic Anatomy and Techniques

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisite: BIO 211; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221, BIO 231. A study of basic histology and hands-on training in microscopy and microtechnique. The correlation between the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs of vertebrates as examined using light and electron microscopy is used as a basis for understanding biochemical, physiological, and pathological processes. Goals of the course include learning to identify cells and tissues in histological sections, understanding and practicing the techniques used for specimen preparation for histological and histochemical examination of tissues, and application of these techniques in a semester-long research project.

  • BIO 434: Molecular Biology of Gene Expression

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisites: BIO 211, BIO 231; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221. All eukaryotic cells must regulate the expression of their genes in response to both internal stimuli and changes in the extracellular environment. Gene expression is a highly coordinated, multi-step process that commences with transcription and RNA processing in the nucleus, followed by RNA export (and often localization) and translation in the cytoplasm. Moreover, correct gene expression relies on quality control mechanisms that can degrade non-function or potentially deleterious RNAs so that they are not translated to produce harmful proteins. This course, which includes a semester-long yeast laboratory project, will cover the molecular details of several of the steps in gene expression, the mechanisms that underlie the careful coordination of these steps, and examples of human diseases that result from inappropriate gene expression. Students will learn about experimental approaches to study gene expression using a combination of textbook readings, review articles, and current primary journal articles.

  • BIO 450: Advanced Eukaryotic Cell Biology

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisite: BIO 211; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221, BIO 231. Designed to provide students with in-depth exposure to the field of cellular and molecular biology, this course is structured to include students in a detailed and sophisticated analysis of several important topics in modern cell biology. Students will be expected to read original articles from the primary literature, and to be able to critically analyze and critique the experimental approaches, design and conclusions. Furthermore, student will be responsible for communicating this knowledge with one another by presenting the articles in the classroom setting.

  • BIO 451: Developmental Biology

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisite: BIO 211; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221, BIO 231. Introduction to cellular, genetic, and epigenetic aspects of an organism's development. The focus for the majority of the semester is on the example of embryogenesis as it occurs and is regulated in several animal species. The emphasis is on the molecular mechanisms of that regulate development in various model systems, including C. elegans, Drosophila, and several vertebrate species. Several of these model systems are the subject of the experiments in the laboratory portion of the course.

  • BIO 461: Evolution

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisite: BIO 221; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 211, BIO 231. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. This famous quote by renowned evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky emphasizes the centrality of evolution to all fields of biology. This course takes a multidisciplinary approach to the study of genetic change and the origination of biological diversity. Students will gain expertise in historical and modern perspectives of evolutionary theory and concepts, and explore the dynamic nature of evolutionary processes in the contemporary world.

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    Prerequisite: BIO 221; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 211, BIO 231. A detailed investigation into the role of physiological function and behavior in shaping the interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment. Emphasis is placed upon the study of physiological and behavioral adaptations of animals to adverse environmental conditions. Topics examined will include the physiological and behavioral aspects of feeding, digestion, excretion, reproduction, metabolism, temperature regulation, and water balance. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
